Let ‘em turn the whole country Union! Pay everybody $ 100/hr.

And then, let ‘em answer this: Why is it that, currently, when I call Microsoft for Tech support, I always get India or Indonesia?? Hum??

Unions screwed up Detroit. Why not the rest of the country?

Orwell must be beaming in his grave.

“Employee Free Choice Act” - how to coerce workers to join unions by physical and other intimidation.

“Fairness Doctrine” - how to ensure that only one side of a political discussion is heard on the airwaves.

And many, many others I’m sure.

If I still owned or advised a business of any size- I would recommend that they lay off everyone except family. Sell family very small shares of business and make them owners.
Tell NObama and UNIONS to pound sand.

The auto business in this country would not be in the mess they are in without the demands of the unions.

It better pass, I just got a call from a union boss that he’s sending his thugs in with lead pipes.

“The government-affairs director of the AFL-CIO said he is certain that organized labor’s top priority — a law that would make it much easier for unions to organize businesses both large and small — will pass Congress and be signed by President Barack Obama.”

Further guaranteeing that more manufacturing jobs leave the U.S.

IF my story is any indication, there may be a silver lining

Two weeks ago, I had to view a new video at my workplace. It explained the negative consequences of signing your name to a union card. The union person would misrepresent signing your name to a union card, saying it was “no big deal”. But it was a big deal to the union, meaning they could legally deduct money from your salary as union dues, and use their cover as a protected union as justification. The video said, for your own protection, don’t sign a union card unless the company says it’s okay to do so

So, it’s ironic. Unlike in the early 1900’s, the roles are now reversed. It’s your own company looking out for your interests, and it’s the union who’s trying to exploit you for the most bucks possible

I hope that companies all over the country are taking matters into their own hands and starting their own “grassroots” response to this. Grassroots can be for capitalists and Republicans too, and not just for liberals, socialists, and Obama Democrats

Also, despite what this guys says, Coleman and Chambliss still have chances to keep their seats, although Chambliss has the better chance. McConnell says he’s confident he can sustain a filibuster on this if he has to

Also, all U.S. Senators a prima donnas, and don’t all automatically vote their party line all the time, especially if they’re in the majority. If we can build enough opposition to this while keeping all our Senators in line in defense and opposition, it will give some Conservative Democrat Senators cover to oppose this with us, and stop it

Mr. Samuel also said that the more than $300 million spent by labor unions to educate workers was crucial to the Democrats' success in key battleground states, such as Ohio and Michigan.

Not to mention my state, PA. 'Educate'? Anyone who has ever had a union-employed friend confide that they "are conservative, but shhhh!, no one must know", knows how powerful this education is.
